'Dirty Girls'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

About whitefont for Movies threads: don't forget UNamericans. Movies often don't get released in Europe until months after the U.S. release. Though in some, isolated cases, they get released before...
(Another whitefont, another headache, isn't it?).
I feel like the spoiler policy will work itself out to some extent. I post that Darth Vadar is Luke's father, someone else says "hey, not everyone has seen that yet, please delete or edit," I do it. Community discussion and self-moderation may be better than trying to come up with iron-clad rules that will satisfy everyone.
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras.
I like this part.
I'd like it if we whitefonted major plot twists at least until the film goes to video.
This could be a year or more, depending on the movie. If we're going to have a movies thread at all, I think it has to be one where current films can be openly discussed.
Maybe a month after wide release, instead of two weeks?
Lyra, I think yr unclosed HTML is making Am blue.
Ah ha. Reason #4 why I didn't want a movie thread in the first place. The spoiler policy. Inevitably going to be a source of continuing frustration.
Spoiler fonting definitely can work, but one would need something like there was on WX: a posting of which movies came out each week, and then which ones are currently free to be posted in non-white.
Are we talking about whitefonting all discussion on new films, or just major plot details/endings? I think whitefonting everything would be incredibly cumbersome -- but OTOH I don't want to open the thread and find out how the film I was going to see this weekend ends, assuming the ending is more twisty than "the cop gets his man" or "they make up and kiss."
I know that here in Baltimore The WB has been pre-empting Angel for college basketball. They have been showing those episodes on Saturdays or Sundays depending on their schedule.
I just discovered that The WB (WNUV-54) will begin broadcasting some Orioles games, but I don't know yet how that will affect scheduling.
I like the rules in Ovies, I think they work. I can't remember them, as I only read the 'Hollywood Gossip" thread, as I see about 2 movies per year, except in the summer, when I have time.
